CEO’S DESKFROM THE

"political

collaboration

is required to

enable New

Zealand to

fully exploit its

opportunities. "

Alan Pearson, Chief Executive Offi cer

We continue to experience customers’ demand for supply chain solutions. This has been a situation across all three Divisions of Hall’s for the past few months.

Recently we changed the signwriting at “Easy Logistics” to “Hall’s Logistics” where a photo of the new signage appears in this issue of the Silver Bullet. I am extremely pleased with this new look as it appears to be a much better image than the previous situation. What has surprised me however was the number of communiques received since the sign was completed expressing surprise about Hall’s involvement with Easy Logistic, with most comments revolving around a central theme “that no one knew Hall’s owned Easy Logistics”. This possibly illustrates the power of signage versus letters to customers, word of mouth, Silver Bullet articles etc…

The Hall’s Board has endorsed the executive plan to expand our frozen capacity in Auckland by 10,000 pallet spaces.This investment is exciting and reinforces Hall’s commitment to the Auckland based cold storage market in order to service our customers’ needs. Our investment will complement the existing facilities of 11,500 pallets spaces of cold storage (Frozen and Chilled) and 13,000 pallets of ambient mainly at our Hall’s Logistics facility in East Tamaki. This storage capacity will complement the Hall’s Refrigerated Divisions with its national network of cold storage depots, road transport and rail transport, and Hall’s Intermodal Division with its ambient transport capability.

From a macro-economic perspective, the world is still undergoing huge economic pressure with severe austerity measures implemented throughout Europe and now the USA. The European’s are well advanced in terms of their budget cutting plan, while the Americans have just announced that they too will be undergoing a budget cutback which will result in the loss of 750,000 jobs (President Obama). This, in conjunction with severe cutbacks in Argentina, is creating a world of two halves; those faring ok and those in severe economic turmoil among the majority of their population. Half the world outside New Zealand is however largely not happy, economically.

We in New Zealand are travelling reasonably well with a healthy bank industry, sound export market for food, a number of free trade agreements across Asia and the solid economic relations with Australia, combining to provide a healthy economy. We cannot afford to be complacent, however, as our spending still exceeds our income and we seem to be on the verge of pork barrelling politics at the next General Election across all parties as they promise to spend money we don’t have in order to get elected. It is this aspect of the three year term of politics that I personally fi nd the most troubling. Compare this to China with no elections, no democracy and a one party state where they can make decisions in the best interests of China; taking a 20+ year view. I believe this is driving recent Chinese investments in New Zealand farms, homes, or any other form of food manufacturing asset; in other words the 20 year view.

It is time for all our political parties to think and act strategically and act collaboratively in order to address the best interests of New Zealand for the long term. Short term decision making for political expediency should be punished at the polls. We have to think of our next generation of children and leave them a legacy of a great and prosperous country that is part of the best region in the world; one which is largely away from most trouble and strife.

We need to export in order to earn foreign currency and therefore have to encourage fi rms that can lead export growth for New Zealand. We at Hall’s enjoy our participation in this effort as we continue to provide a complete Logistics Supply Solution to our many valuable customers who cater for both export and domestic markets.

New DAFs and Western Stars Hall's has taken delivery of the fi rst batch of Western Stars and DAFS over the past few weeks, with the balance of both orders expected to be completed by July this year. Hall's General Manager Strategy and Resources, Craig Madill, was asked by the Silver Bullet why he has chosen these two trucks for inclusion in the extensive Hall's fl eet? Craig Madill replied "We have been very pleased with the performance of both trucks over the past few years and therefore always willing to follow through with additional orders. The Western Star was chosen as our conventional truck design choice, while the DAF was considered the best cab over choice."

Given their arrival the Silver Bullet asked Mr Madill where the trucks will be deployed? "We will be assigning vehicles across the country, with all Regions receiving some vehicles at some future time."

Both trucks are certainly well designed trucks, however the Silver Bullet will leave it to the reader to decide which is the most appealing of the two.

Hall’s Delivers to McDonald’sHall’s QSR (Quick Service Restaurants and Retail) originated in December 2011 in order to service the transport requirements of Martin Brower (formerly McKeys) and Fresh Start Bakeries that have supply arrangement with McDonald’s. Over the past twelve months Martin Brower, Fresh Start Bakeries and Hall’s have worked together in order to ensure that a high quality transport and delivery service was available to all McDonald’s stores across New Zealand. This service has been successful due to a very responsive team of people within Hall’s QSR utilising Hall’s network capability, advanced technology and business systems in order to deliver a high quality service and product on a daily basis.

So the next time you are enjoying your Big Mac, spare a thought for the team at Hall’s QSR as there is a very high probability they delivered the ingredients.

Above: Hall’s QSR new DAF truck delivering Fresh Start buns to McDonald’s Lunn Ave, Mt Wellington Inset: Hall’s QSR Driver David hand unloading product into store, with a McDonald’s staff member checking load.

Calling all staff and Owner-Drivers – get your cameras out and take some photos of Hall’s trucks involved in action, or daily work activities at Hall’s, for consideration as a month in the Hall’s Group 2014 Calendar. Photos must be as high-resolution as possible, and emailed to [email protected] by the end of June 2013.

Winners will receive voucher of their choice to the

Hall's Logistics General Manager Mr Madhukar Sharma commented on the new signage –"we have received great feedback by everyone that sees it…even neighbours have come around and commented that signage is fantastic, providing great street appeal." Also received positive feedback from staff about the new signage and the painting of the red columns – great timing with staff receiving their new Hall’s uniform, and it reinforces that we are now part of Hall's rather than Easy Logistics.

Hall's Logistics Signage

Lights, Camera, Action...Hall’s wasted no time in changing the signage and brand of the former Easy Logistics to Hall’s Logistics during the summer. The new Hall’s Logistics brand occurred on the 1st January 2013, and as the reader can see, the new signage looks impressive at the East Tamaki location.

Foundation for Youth Development Hall’s Group had a desire to work with the Foundation for Youth Development and participate in the Career Navigator pilot at Manurewa High School. The pilot’s focus is to increase school children’s understanding of what careers options are available to them, and increase their understanding of what subjects and/or qualifi cations they need to pursue those career paths.

As part of the pilot late last year, Tracey Kay (National Human Resources Manager) presented to Year 12’s, Hall’s Logistics’ plans to recruit a ‘Logistics and Distribution Trainee’ into the Hall’s Logistics business. Amongst a few applicants, Brad Milner was a clear winner and elected to join Hall’s in January 2013. Brad is involved in a 2 year Trainee Program in which he will undergo training in all aspects of Warehouse Management – from working in the offi ce on computer systems to driving a fork hoist in the warehouse. Currently Brad has started in the warehouse and, as part of his training, has began picking orders with senior staff, plus he has successfully completed his fork hoist training – great work Brad. Brad commented …” I’m very excited to have obtained my Fork Hoist Licence and am really enjoying the challenge of Warehouse operations…can’t wait to get to get involved in the other departments”.

New Driver CadetIn February, Chris Mallett started with the Hall’s Group as a new Driver Cadet. Chris moved to Auckland f rom Wanganui to pursue a career in transport and is currently training with the team at Hall’s QSR. While he is with QSR, he will be learning the process and procedures related to this business unit.

Chris has shown real commitment to the licencing process, and achievements to date include gaining his full Class 2, ‘F’ endorsement and D.O.L. Fork Hoist Certifi cate.

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Chris on-board and look forward to working with him as he progresses through the driving ranks and licensing process.

Sporting HeroesSometimes Hall’s staff succumb to illness and disease – unfortunately this is an unpleasant fact of life, even with major medical advancements in recent times. None of us like going to the Doctor for a variety of reasons – fear of the unknown, fear of needles, the cost involved etc., and men are well known to be much more likely to put off a visit to the Doctor than women. However, just take a quick look at a few of our sporting heroes listed below, Kiwi icons known in every household throughout New Zealand – that we think of as being staunch and bullet-proof – well they aren’t, and neither are you. So, it doesn’t matter what your age is, how fi t (or unfi t) you are, whether you consider yourself to be healthy or not. Just go and see your Doctor for a health check – you owe it to your partner, your kids but mainly to yourself – and put your mind at ease.

Heavy Trucks in NapierThere has been some recent adverse publicity about trucks using Marine Parade in Napier as featured in an article in Hawkes Bay Today on 23rd February 2013. The main thrust of the article was “Residents were now joined by visitors, thousands of them every year, and many of them noted in visitors book comments that the sound of trucks rattling and roaring along the road outside their windows was unpleasant.” The fact that the newspaper chose to use a picture of a Hall’s Kenworth truck pulling a TRC Intermodal unit to illustrate the point of the story prompted the Silver Bullet to ask CEO Alan Pearson for his reaction to the story. This was his response:

“It was unfortunate from our [Hall’s] point of view that a picture of one of our trucks was used in the story given the underlying negative sentiment. Hall’s has always prided ourselves on being a solid corporate citizen with well documented and communicated corporate values based upon community responsibility and corporate governance. From my perspective the road is a public road available for Hall’s and others in the trucking industry to use, along with all other citizens. We encourage, and to the best of my knowledge, practice a high standard of road etiquette with complimentary letters about our drivers far outweighing complaints by a large margin. At the time of this interview I am unaware of any complaint surrounding our trucks using Marine Parade other than what appeared in the story.”

Mr Pearson went on to explain Hall’s presence in the Hawkes Bay:

“We have two businesses located in Napier and Whakatu employing people who are responsible for servicing our major customers in the Hawkes Bay region. Some of our largest customers are Heinz Watties, McCain’s, Silver Fern, Ovation and many others involved in food manufacture and who are also themselves large employers of people from the Hawkes Bay region. Our job is to get their product to the market which is not only the New Zealand domestic market, but also large export markets. Hall’s transports over 650,000 tonnes of refrigerated product per annum in and around New Zealand, and Hawkes Bay is a very large portion of this statistic. In addition, our Hall’s Intermodal Division is transporting large volumes of export containers to the Port. I am not aware of the alternative to using Marine Parade, however if there is a suitable option then all parties should meet and discuss the problem in order to seek a sensible solution. If there is no suitable alternative, I would suggest that we then examine the value of the food manufacture and other industries in the Hawkes Bay that require trucks, and compare this to the hospitality industry on Marine Parade adversely affected by port activities and determine what is the best outcome for all concerned in the area."

The Silver Bullet fi nds It ironic that some hotel owners such as the featured Mr Averous are critical of trucks, yet his customers would rely on and enjoy the contents of trucks to get products to markets. The fact that Mr Averous sees his commercial interests as being more important than other industries in the Hawkes Bay who engage trucks to move their products, smacks of hypocrisy and self interest. The Silver Bullet is the Quarterly magazine for Hall’s; a proud trucking fi rm among other things.

Comments on Good DrivingCompliments (bouquets) from the general public – here are a few received recently:

From Demelza Hillary

Good Morning : On Thursday night 25th March at around 8pm we had pulled over opposite the Maramarua Golf Course. We had a fl at tyre. It was going to be a mission - pitch black, baby in the back seat and boot fi lled with stuff for a long weekend away, not to mention being on a country road. One of your drivers - 40yr+ white dude, his name we didn't get (lives in Matamata) kindly stopped and helped us change our tyre. I hope that you can please pass on again our gratitude. And to let you know you should be proud to have such a great truck driver on your team :-)

After some investigating, we have discovered that the Driver was Murray Isabeth, Owner-Driver, returning home after work. Thanks for helping out Murray.

From Billie-Jean Bruhns

I thought I’d drop you a line to say how fabulous your drivers were on our trip from Christchurch to Picton. Extremely considerate on the road, please pass on our thanks as I’m sure you get both sides of the coin.

From Regina Chapman

On Thursday 28th March 2013 (the eve of Good Friday) we followed one of your trucks No.577 along Great South Road in Takanini. I wish to compliment your driver on not losing his cool with the stupid driver of a little Peugeot who repeatly cut up the inside of the truck and then dived into the lane in front of your driver. Please continue with the good training you are giving your drivers.

Palmerston NorthTeam Wenman in Cancer Society's Relay for Life

“Team Wenman” took part in the Palmerston North Cancer Society Relay For Life on the weekend of 9th and 10th March. The team, headed by Greg Wenman, Business Development Manager, has participated in this event for the past 12 years. The event is seen by Team Wenman as a means of contributing to a very worthy charity in the fi ght against cancer. At the end of the event a total of $321,000 was raised by the 110 teams participating, however after fi nal tallies are done, the total raised is expected to rise to about $360,000. A big thank you to the Hall’s Group for their generosity in supporting this cause.

AucklandShared Support Services

Recently the Hall’s Group’s Shared Service Centre relocated to new premises in Auckland. This move brings together the accounts receivable, accounts payable and payroll functions for all business units into one central location.

Andrew Williamson, Chief Financial Offi cer, noted that the recent growth in the business, including the acquisition of Roadways and Easy Logistics, required us to think laterally about an appropriate structure and location for fi nance. He said it soon became clear that the best option was to bring together the core fi nance functions for all business units into one central location.

When considering these initiatives, it is important to ensure they are aligned with the wider business objectives. In this instance, it was clear that there was alignment with the Group’s objectives of streamlining core processes and enhancing communication to both our internal and external stakeholders.

The purpose of creating a Shared Support Service was to centralise control of back offi ce functions that support the business units. This centralised service creates economies of scale and synergies unable to be realised via a decentralised structure. Hall’s CEO Alan Pearson commented “I was part of a team that introduced Shared Services within what was the Fletcher Challenge Steel Group in the late 1990’s. Back in those days the thinking was we needed a common IT platform in order to create a Shared Service, however we had to move with old legacy IT platforms due to a delay in the implementation of the new ERP platform. Over the next few months we realised substantial savings without having a single IT platform. When this did eventually arrive, further savings were realised. This structure continued for the Steel Group for many years where a low-cost shared service supported several distinct business units. This structure was brought into Hall’s.”

New PlymouthPaul Stockley is the driver, and my boss is Paul Farquhar – but you never get to see him in Auckland because he does all the hard work down here during the daytime. He never gets to see you lot either. Paul F. is the Owner-Driver rep on the local Road Transport Federation Committee. He's been driving for 20 years and celebrated his 40th birthday last year. He (as P & T Trucking Ltd, with his wife, Tracy) has been the New Plymouth contractor for Hall's for the last 18 months.

P & T operates a Hall's Western Star and a 2001 Mack, and the company ute. He's one of the organisers of the Taranaki Truckers Group who ran the Taranaki Truck Show on Easter Saturday, 30 March. The show featured a parade through New Plymouth and a static trucknival – like a carnival, but with, you know, trucks - at Hickford Park, Bell Block, and a social function. It supports the Child Cancer Foundation; and last year raised $5,100 for the charity. T-shirts are always available for purchase, and as a new feature this year, the show offered truck cab rides for a donation.

http://www.facebook.com/Taranaki-Truck-Show

If you want to speak to him, it's probably best to call Paul F. at home, early evening. During the day he's usually working, and it'd be hard to have a useful conversation then.

From L-R: The two P & T trucks having a day out at Waitara Beach, Paul F. driving a Higgins 'road train' at last year's show.

STAFFNEW

Peter WhiteBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

A new Business Development Manager joined the team in Auckland in mid-January.

Peter White has been in transport most of his working life with experience in all facets of the transport game from Furniture Moving to Dry Freight to Containers to Chilled and Frozen Transport. Previous companies Peter has been involved with include Super Freight, TNL and Linfox.

Based in Auckland, Peter is focusing on a variety of the Auckland and Waikato customers along with working closely with Mike Corcoran and the team at Hall’s Intermodal on container opportunities. With a wide knowledge of the industry, Peter sees many exciting opportunities where he can add value to our network.

Peter lives in Onehunga with his wife Ann. His three children are grown up now and have left the nest. As a keen fi sherman, Peter has passion for the sea. He previously lived on Great Barrier Island where he worked as a commercial fi sherman and a charter fi sherman. With a great knowledge of the Waitemata Harbour, he certainly catches his fair share of fi sh.

We welcome Peter to the team and I am sure many of you will get to meet him in the near future.

Phil DoranAUCKLAND OPERATIONS MANAGER

Phil joined Hall's in late 2012 as the new Auckland Operations Manager and takes up a signifi cant role, controlling day to day operations in Hall’s largest depot.

Born in Ireland and raised in Scotland, Phil has spent considerable time in the Transport and Logistics industry in various parts of the United Kingdom, both as a driver of refrigerated vehicles and later moving into refrigerated transport management.

He moved to New Zealand in 2008 with his wife Teri, daughter Luci, and his two sons Aiden and Connor. After moving to New Zealand, Phil and his wife added to their family when their little Kiwi boy, Liam, was born.

His fi rst taste of the New Zealand transport industry was in general freight when he secured a job as Branch Manager in Hawkes Bay with Roadstar Transport, and then m oved across into the courier and post part of the business as the Auckland Operations Manager.

Phil is committed to life long learning and personal development, completing his CILT Professional Diploma at Huddersfi eld University in 2007, and he is currently studying a BBS at Massey University.

As well as his passion for trucks and transport, Phil is a huge football fan and is involved heavily in developing junior football in

his beloved Beachlands in the newly created position of Junior Club President with the Beachlands-Maraetai Association Football Club.

Everyone who knows Phil knows about his great love for Glasgow Celtic Football Club who he has followed all over Europe since he was a small boy. When you see the Hall's Colorado driving around the Auckland area with the CELT88 registration plate; you’ll know it’s him driving!

“I’m really enjoying my new role, very challenging. Hall’s is a great company with loads of opportunities, and it is fantastic to be working with such a dedicated team”.

Phil is a great addition to the Northern Region and Auckland Depot for Hall’s, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience – and a somewhat questionable sense of humour.
